In 2014, the Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) will be co-hosting the conference with the National University of Civil Engineering, Hanoi, Vietnam. Hanoi, with over a thousand years of history, is the capital City of Vietnam, a country of hidden charm with many attractions for tourism. The conference will be held from September 15 - 19, 2014.

Further Description / Program

Dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and development of capacity in WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) appropriate to local contexts, the WEDC International Conference provides a valuable platform for reflection, debate and exchange, rooted in practice.

The week begins with three days of peer reviewed paper presentations and discussion which combine practically focussed briefing papers with more academic refereed papers. A two day capacity development programme follows, to develop skills and update knowledge with current good practice.

The programme also incorporates: sharing of best practices through side events hosted by international agencies; a vibrant exhibition; interesting field visits; and importantly carefully structured social events which help participants relax and optimise networking opportunities.

In particular, submissions which will contribute to the following specific thematic discussions:
1. Successful approaches to delivery of sustainable WASH services at scale
2. Innovative Water Utility Finance and Management
3. Institutional capacity development
4. How to mainstream equity and inclusion within Institutions
5. Achieving a smooth transition from emergency to development in provision of WASH services
6. Equipping the next generation with the rights skills and knowledge to meet the needs of today and tomorrow.

The Call for Papers and other contributions are to be submitted by February 28, 2014. Please see http://www.wedcconference.co.uk/docs/37/Call_for_Papers.pdf for more details.

How to work with the Filter panel

Filter operations

If you tick two options within one filter parameter, then this is treated as an "or" search, meaning either of them could be true. But if you tick two filters for two different parameters then this is treated as an "and" search, i.e. both parameters must be true to return a result. If anything is unclear about how the filter and search combinations work, just contact us: info@susana.org

Function coming soon
